Mine To Mount Edit
Almost 12 years to the day after founding her eponymous jewellery business, Sophie decided the time was right to probe a little deeper into where her gemstones come from - specifically the Tsavorites she loves working with so much. In 2022, she ventured deep into the Kenyan bush to meet the inspirational Miriam, the owner of Mimo Gems, a small-scale and ethical Tsavorite mine.
Inspired by her wonderful Kenyan experience, Sophie has designed three Art Deco-inspired engagement rings set with stones sourced from Miriam’s Tsavorite mines in Kenya. The three gems all display a different shade of green - a mint green cushion cut tsavorite; a bright, grass green emerald cut Tsavorite; a racing green emerald cut Tsavorite with a colour very close to that of an emerald - giving each of her One-Of-A-Kind engagement rings a very different personality.
All profits will be donated to Gem Legacy, a non-profit charity supporting vocational training, entrepreneurship, and community development in East African artisanal gem mining communities.
One-Of-A-Kind Tsavorite & Double Diamond Halo Ring
£15,100
Inspired by the Art Deco era, our One-Of-Kind Tsavorite & Diamond Engagement Ring showcases a deep and vivid green Tsavorite, responsibly sourced from a small-scale Tsavorite mine in Kenya as part of Sophie’s Mine to Mount Project. Displaying a beautiful racing green colour that is very close to that of an emerald, the 2ct emerald cut Tsavorite is framed by a double diamond halo that combines the sparkle of round Brilliant cut stones with the sleek elegance of custom-cut baguette cut gems.
One-Of-A-Kind Tsavorite & Sapphire Halo Ring
£13,600
With all the hallmarks of the art deco era, our One-Of-A-Kind Tsavorite & Sapphire Halo Ring plays with the angular lines and bold colour contrast of three different precious stones. The geometric silhouette of a beautiful, grass green 2.14ct octagonal Tsavorite, responsibly sourced from a small-scale Tsavorite mine in Kenya as part of Sophie’s Mine To Mount Project, is accentuated by a frame of calibré cut blue sapphire and graduated emerald cut diamond side stones. Powerfully designed to be elegant yet dramatic, it is the perfect choice if you are looking for an engagement ring that is completely unique.
One-Of-A-Kind Pale Tsavorite & Cadillac Diamond Ring

A beautiful mint green 1.66ct cushion cut Tsavorite, responsibly sourced from a small-scale Tsavorite mine in Kenya as part of Sophie’s Mine To Mount Project, is framed by two cadillac cut diamonds in our One-Of-Kind Tsavorite & Diamond Ring. A unique choice for an engagement ring, the diamonds and band are crafted in 18k white gold while the Tsavorite is clasped in 18K yellow gold claws – a thoughtful detail that enhances the delicate green colour of the centre stone.
